this truly is the hardest game ever

The kids brought report cards home on Wednesday. Youngest Master Waster and Mrs. Master Waster's Son both brought home solid grades. The latter had straight As & Bs, and the first had the same save for one (which was on a technicality). Middle Master Waster, on the other hand, didn’t do so hot. Meatloaf said “two out of three ain’t bad” but I’m not feeling it this week. She’s been all focused on color guard practice and social life and a dozen other things, but evidently not so focused on taking care of business at school. Part of the deal with her driver’s license as well as her participation in guard was that she maintained her grades on the honor roll. She fell quite a bit short on that target. So, she lost her license already. She’s in a big guard competition this weekend, and I didn’t want to jack the rest of the team by pulling her on short notice. After this weekend, though, she’s got to drop from the team. Nobody’s happy now. I hate it when the house is full of stress. Other than that, the week has been rather simple. ========================== This is the hardest game ever. I sucked at it. Max sent me this game early this week, and I’ve been trying all week long to beat it. Every day. Multiple times per day. I keep losing. Maybe I’m too easily distracted. (not safe to play if your mom is looking over your shoulder, or if your boss has you on the “find a reason to terminate” list) http://www.gjk2.com/test/test.swf I know this is a repeat. It’s been a slow week for submissions. http://www.youshock.com/skills/sheep_reaction_test/# Sequel to a good one: http://www.crazymonkeygames.com/fullscreen.php?game=Boxhead-More-Rooms Another sequel: http://dirt-bike-2.freeonlinegames.com/ ========================== Time wasters that make you think a bit.
